Serene of the Oakland Serenes

I had a bookalicious day today. I met stonebender for our periodic Library Day, and then we went bookstore-crawling. I picked up the following, and the ones I spent money on cost me only about $20 total.

From the library:

Las Fiestas de Frida y Diego: Recuerdos y Recetas (Frida and Diego's Parties: Memories and Recipes) -- The pictures are beautiful, and I think it would be fun to try to cook from Spanish recipes

The Pressured Cook (pressure-cooker recipes)

Miss Manners' Guide to Excruciatingly Correct Behavior

Teach Yourself Esperanto: A Complete Course for Beginners


From Other Change of Hobbit:

Farthing


From Half Price Books:

What Would Betty Do? How to Succeed at the Expense of Others in This World and the Next (Betty Bowers)

Wild in the Kitchen: Recipes for Wild Fruits, Weeds, and Seeds

Cooking with Gluten and Seitan

The Heartsong Tofu Cookbook (adorable 1977 hand-lettered cookbook that includes recipes and diagrams for making one's own tofu)

Not Milk... Nut Milks!

Recipe Keeper -- a pretty binder with sheets to fill with my mom's recipes, then send the book to her as a gift.


I am happy. Book lust is, for the moment, satiated.

I was pretty sure I wouldn't have read many of them. ( I was right. )
